The United States Supreme Court, on April 2, 2012, upheld strip searches and body cavity searches for those arrested or detained without requiring probable cause or reasonable belief for those searches. Prior to 2003, Maine used to prohibit such searches of those arrested for misdemeanors and other minor offenses unless reasonable cause existed to believe that the detainee was concealing a weapon, contraband or evidence of a crime. The purpose of this petition is to reinstate the requirement of reasonable cause to permit such searches of those arrested for minor offenses.

People want to rename Burien Skatepark "Jasmine Tully Memorial Park". Jasmine Tully hung out at the skatepark but didn't have anything to do with the skate community. She was not a skater or a biker. Her murder had nothing to do with the skatepark. Please don't exploit her death by renaming our beloved park after someone who didn't respect it.

With all the issues facing our country the one that concerns me the most is voters suppression laws. It is so obvious to me and many others, what these Republicans are doing, suppress a segment of voters who traditionally vote for Democrats by lying and using the argument that they are trying to eliminate voter fraud, which is a total fabrication. People's right to vote is protected in the constitution. This extreme effort by these Republicans Governors is a very dangerous and slippery slope with devastating consequences for our country's future. We must protect that right for future generations.
